Q. & A. with Donna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My family responsibly bred dogs during my childhood but I was also passionately involved in rescue I saw first hand that what we needed was more ppl on the front lines willing to report these bad breeders. I had the honor to have met Cesar Milan and was impressed by his teams absolute devotion in placing each dog with the right human. I knew I could do this with every puppy and so I changed my entire program we needed to change how early we began training.
  • What makes your program special?

    We focus on early access bonding with each puppy and owner by at least wk 3 We spend hours daily doing touch, sound, scent and fear mitigation training,plus early start on potty and leash training. By including our parents and training THEM we find we raise a more stable secure dog who lacks most if not all of the seperation anxiety disorders that are associated with other less inclusive programs
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are dark golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
